Chocolate soldier succulents are not as heat-tolerant as other succulent species. They may suffer in extreme heat, especially if they are grown outside in the summer months. Keep this in mind when choosing a location for your chocolate soldier plant. Chocolate soldier succulents are also not cold-hardy. If you do bring your chocolate soldier succulent outdoors for the summer, ensure you remember to bring it back inside at the first sign of frost.
Chocolate soldier plants have low water needs. You should always allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings, especially in the winter months when the plant is dormant. Chocolate soldier plants may require more frequent watering in the hot summer months.
Regular fertilizing is not necessary for chocolate soldier plants. However, fertilizing once at the beginning of the growing season (spring months) can help to encourage strong growth. A cactus or succulent fertilizer is best.

Indoor plants like Chocolate soldiers are usually safe from pests, but keep an eye on small insects like aphids or mealybugs. Also, maintain good watering practices to avoid root rot and other fungal problems.
